Volume 1: A Hundred Years of Love Chapter 72: Mangroves
On May Day, the streets of Shenzhen were empty.
The bus, which crawls like a snail on weekdays, runs faster than a Tibetan antelope at this time.
When the city is empty, buses and taxis are free!
The boulevard full of redbud flowers was very long, and it seemed to have no end in itself.
Together, they walked quietly forward.
Without saying a word, it's kind of sweetness to walk together.
"Wang Shiyi, let's walk a little longer, and we'll be in the mangrove forest!" He Xueyi suddenly stopped, looked at the traffic light in front of him and said.
"Are mangroves?are trees red?" asked Wang Shiyi in surprise, no one had ever mentioned mangroves to him, but he thought the name was interesting.
How could the woods be red?
He had heard of red maple before, and the red maple in autumn looked gorgeous, and when it was said to be a mangrove forest, he would not have the slightest doubt.
Growing so big, he had never heard of a red forest in the summer.
The red forest should be beautiful!
"I've been in Shenzhen for almost a year, and although it's not far away, I haven't been there yet! I've only heard that it's beautiful!" He Xueyi said, saying that May Day was a holiday, and now she was about to walk to the mangrove forest, and she wanted to see it.
"You lead the way ahead, let's go and have a look!" Wang Shiyi said.
That afternoon, they walked together in the mangrove forests of Futian.
It's a forest by the sea, with lots of tropical trees!
On the sea, there are always some white waterfowl circling and flying!
There are still a lot of people who come to see the sea, and the noise of children comes and goes!
Wang Shiyi became interested in the name mangrove, and he walked along the beach for a long time, but he never saw the legendary red forest.
The sky is blue, the sea glows like broken silver in the sun, all the plants look green, and the sea lacquer, wood olive, and autumn eggplant that swagger in the sea water are also green.
Whoever deceives must be deceitful!
"Don't look for it, the green woods are not bad!" He Xueyi shouted under a tall coconut tree.
That day, they sat together under that coconut tree, blowing the sea breeze.
Wang Shiyi wanted to smoke several times, and after looking at He Xueyi beside him, the hand he stretched into his trouser pocket retracted.
"Where is the other side of the sea? how desolate!" Looking at the gentle curves of the mountains opposite in the sky, Wang Shiyi suddenly remembered his hometown Chungcheng.
In his impression, Shenzhen is full of houses, why is the other side of the sea like the countryside?
It's a dramatic contrast, isn't it?
"Opposite is Hong Kong!" Although He Xueyi has never been here, she has heard people mention that the opposite side is Hong Kong.
"Hong Kong?" Wang Shiyi's eyes widened.
Isn't Hong Kong full of high-rise buildings?
Hong Kong dramas are all office buildings, are Hong Kong dramas deceiving people?
"Hong Kong looks like our Chung Cheng, all barren mountains and few high-rise buildings. Wang Shiyi shook his head in disappointment.
He Xueyi was also puzzled, she had just heard that Hong Kong could be seen in the mangrove forest, and she didn't expect that Hong Kong would look like this in everyone's mouth.
They sat quietly on the grass, watching the sea, watching the sunset on the seashore, watching the sun gradually turn into the color of egg yolk, watching it plunge headlong into the sea, and the sky was red with sunset.
"It's a holiday today, so you can go and sit in my rental house. Seeing that it was getting dark, He Xueyi suddenly raised her head and said.
At this time, the vast cry of the cuckoo seemed to come from a certain mountain, and the sound sounded a little sad, as if it was also urging everyone to "go home".
Wang Shiyi raised his head, looked at the white waterfowl flying on the beach, and said softly, "Okay!"
The crowd slowly dispersed!
The street lights are gradually coming on!
That day, they sat together in the green grass of the mangrove forest until it was almost dark.
"Go back, I'll make you something to eat!" What do you like to eat?" said He Xueyi as they walked through the mangrove forest.
"Stir-fried meat with chili!" replied Wang Shiyi.
"Hahaha, do you like this dish too? Stir-fried pork with chili peppers is my specialty, and it is also my favorite dish!" He Xueyi suddenly became naïve.
By the time they came out of the mangroves, it was already dark!
"Wang Shiyi, look, there seems to be a ghost in front of you!" They had just walked out of the mangrove forest and walked on the street, and He Xueyi, who was still talking and laughing just now, suddenly shrank into a ball and hid behind Wang Shiyi in fear.
"Where?" Wang Shiyi strode ahead like a hero.
In those mountains of Chungcheng, the night came, it was dark, there were many stories about mountain ghosts in the mountains, Wang Shiyi was also afraid of supernatural things, but today, he Wang Shiyi was full of courage, he wanted to protect his beloved!
How could she be hurt in the slightest?
"Look at the black car, it's moving, and it's making some weird sounds from women. Following the direction of He Xueyi's finger, Wang Shiyi saw a car parked on the side of the road, bumping up and down regularly.
Listening closely, the voice from inside became louder and louder, and the terrible cry was like that of a female ghost.
Are there really ghosts?
He looked around, and the mangrove forest, which was still full of people before dawn, was silent and empty.
The black sedan stopped on the road they had to pass, and only after passing the black sedan could they reach the bus stop.
Wang Shiyi is not Zhong Kui who fights ghosts! If you can't beat it, you can always dodge!
He was also worried about ghosts, so he stopped.
Gradually, the poignant voice faded away!
Gradually, the car stopped shaking!
Luckily, it only moved for a moment.
"Don't be afraid!" Wang Shiyi held He Xueyi's trembling hand tightly, it was the first time he shook her hand, and they looked at the black car from a distance, full of fear.
"Doodoo!" Just as they were in a dilemma, the black sedan suddenly started, and it drove away quickly, and soon disappeared into the vast night.
It's scared to death! He Xueyi came to his senses after a while!
Oh my God! How could my own hands be so warm? How could my own hands be in Wang Shiyi's hands?
It was the first time she had been held hands!
She suddenly felt her face burn badly, hotter than the charcoal in the fire pit in the New Year!
Thankfully, it was in the dark of night, otherwise it would have been humiliating.
She then jerked hard, and found that the hands were clenched very tightly, and she twitched a few more times, and the grip was too tight to pull out!
How could Wang Shiyi be willing to let go?
The hand that has been grasped can't be relaxed, He Xueyi pumped it several times, but he pinched it in his hand, what he pinched was the happiness of a lifetime, how could he let go?
